• Goal: Design, build, and test a tethered, small-scale, human-controlled glider.
• Critical project objectives• Maintain maximum tension on the tether• Sustaining horizontal and vertical flight paths• Measure/record tether tension & position• Understand the influential parameters for
sustained, tethered, unpowered flight

9/9/2013 Project Definition Review P14462
• Loyd• 1980 Paper outlining how to harness high altitude wind
energy• 3 Different Methods
• Simple Kite• Crosswind Powered Kite• Drag Powered Kite
• Uses turbines on kite rather than a ground based generator

Academic Papers
Three axis load cell system created by Lansdorp et al.Image taken from [Lansdorp 2007].
Lansdorp
• Two Different Arrays of Kites• Pumping Mill• Laddermill
• Created a system to measure the tension magnitude and direction using 3D load cell assembly• Basis for our system
9/9/2013 Project Definition Review P14462
Donnelly
• Fighter Kites• Theoretical model to predict motion of
fighter kite• Created a method to control the fighter
kite motion• Created an experimental rig with
generator and variable tether length similar to Lansdorp’s.
Academic Papers
Three axis load cell allowing for variable tether length created by Chris Donnelley. Image taken from [Donnelly 2013].
